Justin Timberlake didn't show to court this afternoon -- but he still got the permanent restraining order he was after.
Karen McNeil was ordered to stay 100 yards away from JT, his home and his vehicle. She is not allowed to contact him -- directly or indirectly.
Justin's lawyer, Marty Singer, gave the judge a written declaration from his client that apparently was good enough for the judge, who had requested a courtroom cameo earlier today.
McNeil testified for a bit, as did a few of JT's security guards.

Justin Timberlake needs to tell it to the judge himself, in order to make a temporary restraining order against a harassing fan permanent.
L.A. County Superior Court Judge David Cunningham just told Justin's lawyer the star must make his case against Karen McNeil by personally testifying.
Justin's lawyer, legal pit bull Marty Singer, was furious, saying McNeil has violated the TRO 10 times already. And besides, Singer says, Justin is filming a movie and has a contract requiring him to be there.
The judge was unmoved, saying it's unfair to make a common working man appear in court but not a high-profile type who has a high-paying gig.
The judge told Singer he wants him to get in touch with Justin and have him on stand-by.
UPDATE 4:45 PM PT -- Court is back in session and no JT in sight. McNeil herself will take the stand and Justin's lawyers will submit a declaration on JT's behalf.
UPDATE 5:15 PM PT -- McNeil has been testifying for some time now. She says she won't continue to bother JT because she's had enough of arrogant, rich men. Child, haven't we all?

Kate Gosselin is drawing the big gun -- we've learned she's hired legal pit bull Marty Singer to go after Jon Gosselin ... asking a judge to hold him in contempt of court for raiding their joint bank account to the tune of more than $200,000.
We've learned there is an existing court order prohibiting Jon or Kate from withdrawing any money from the account without the consent of both parties.
We've learned lawyers for Kate will go to Pennsylvania court tomorrow and argue that Jon has flagrantly violated that order, that he should be forced to return the money to the account and held in contempt.
Ironically, Jon suggested on "Larry King" he wanted to save the marriage -- at the same time he emptied the account.

It didn't take long -- TMZ has learned there's already a legal war raging over the Eric Dane, Rebecca Gayheart naked threesome tape.
Legal pit bull Marty Singer, who reps Dane and Gayheart, tells us he will sue anyone who publishes the video, which he calls "a private, confidential tape."
Singer says he just spoke with third wheel Kari Ann Peniche and asked how the tape got leaked. Her response: "I have no idea. I had nothing to do with it."
As for reports there's a full-blown, uncensored sex version of the tape, Singer said, "From what I've seen it's a naked tape, not a sex tape." Singer added, "At most it's 3 people maybe wanting to have sex."
And that's why we love Marty Singer.

Bruce Willis is being sued by a production company that claims the actor committed to a bargain-basement deal to direct a movie and then walked off the set, never to return.
Foresight Unlimited claims it inked a deal with Willis to direct a movie called "Three Stories about Joan," starring Owen Wilson and Camilla Belle (Joe Jonas' GF). Willis was supposed to get $196,404 to direct the flick, budgeted at $20 mil.
The lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, claims "Willis abruptly and without notice terminated his services as director for personal reasons and walked off the set." The suit doesn't get more specific.
The suit seeks more than $4 mil in damages.
Willis' legal pit bull, Marty Singer, tells us the suit is "absurd" and that the movie collapsed because the producers didn't have the money to pay anyone. Singer says the producers were required to salary money in an escrow account, but never did. He also says Willis will sue the producers for the fee they promised.
